What do you do if there isn't enough fresh drinking water around? According to the World Resources Institute, a quarter of the world's population doesn't have enough water to meet demand. DW explores ways to combat water scarcity.

In this week's briefing, Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh and Bea Stevenson talk about what to look out for from World Water Week. This year's focus is to develop innovative water solutions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and poverty. They also discuss Brazil's upcoming carbon market legislation with emissions caps for high-emitting companies. The legislation is designed to protect indigenous communities, farming and forests, and is part of President Lula da Silva's “green transition” plans.   Plus, Innovation Forum's Tanya Richard highlights some evolving corporate and stakeholder engagement trends, and the value of fostering genuine collaboration. Click here for more information on Innovation Forum's stakeholder engagement services.

Water Recycling for Climate Resilience (start time: 7:54) When you poured tap water into your coffee maker this morning, or flushed the toilet, you may not have been thinking about where that water came from, or where it flowed to next. Pegged to World Water Week, on this week's How On Earth host Susan Moran … Continue reading "Water Reuse for the Arid West"

Can water risk disclosure move the needle on corporate water stewardship? And what does that risk mean for our own retirement funds? In this very special episode of What About Water? - recorded on location at World Water Week - Jay sits down with Cate Lamb in Stockholm, Sweden to discuss valuing water. We hear how companies with high water-related risks affect our own bottom line, and how pensions hang in the balance when the value of those companies erodes in the face of climate change.  Cate Lamb is the Global Director of Water Security for CDP, a non-profit organization once dubbed “the most powerful Green NGO you've never heard of” by the Harvard Business Review. CDP urges large businesses to disclose their environmental risks and reduce their water footprint, using the influence of investors to catalyze change. In a report released just last year, the NGO found the cost of ignoring water risks to businesses could be over five times greater than paying now to address those risks. CDP currently has around 3,500 companies that voluntarily disclose water risks, and a group of 680 investors with $130 trillion dollars in assets pushing for that information.

This week's show features stories from France 24, Radio Deutsche-Welle, Radio Havana Cuba, NHK Japan, and George Galloway. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr220826.mp3 (29:00) From FRANCE- Germany has begun running the first hydrogen powered train line with many more on the way. The French transportation minister is calling for regulation of private jets which emit 10 times more CO2 per passenger mile than commercial flights. From GERMANY- It has been World Water Week at a time of droughts and heat waves. A researcher from the Stockholm Resilience Center discusses the need to maintain the global fresh water cycle, which is losing its resilience from deforestation and climate change. The last few weeks have seen record heat waves in China and Europe, and could be a preview of the future. From CUBA- Brazilian Presidential candidate Lula da Silva promised to contain the deforestation of the Amazon basin by stopping illegal mining. Lula criticized politicians who use religious faith as a political platform, and that the state must remain secular. A Brazilian Supreme Court judge ordered the arrest of 8 businessmen who are promoting a coup d'etat if Lula wins the election in October. From JAPAN- Large parts of China are engulfed by a record heat wave shutting many industries down. A daily record number of migrants tried to enter the UK by the English Channel. An update on the Iran nuclear deal. Russians are accusing Ukrainian intelligence of assassinating the daughter of a close ally of Putin. From GEORGE GALLOWAY- George spoke with Garland Nixon, an American political analyst and radio talk show host on Pacifica radio station WPFW in Washington DC. They discuss Ukraine and how the rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific region affect it, and why many Europeans feel they are being sacrificed by the American empire. Garland says the European leaders have become puppets for the US.

This is an excerpt of the August 30, 2021 episode of What's Up With Water. After a year of extreme weather, people in the drylands of northern California and the hurricane-drenched bayous of southern Louisiana are brooding on the same question: should they leave? New global research suggests that one of these two “water shock” scenarios is more likely to result in migration. World Bank researchers found that people are five times as likely to move following drought conditions as they are after floods or periods of excess water. The finding is part of a report on water and migration released last week during World Water Week, an annual conference. The report details the nuanced relationship between changes in water availability and the movement of people.

23rd to 27th August is World Water Week. We all are aware that we need to conserve water because it is very important for living things. There are many ways with which we can conserve water. Listen in to know about them. Conserve is a verb which means protect something from harm or destruction. https://chimesradio.com http://onelink.to/8uzr4g https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/chimesradioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kaffee besteht zu 99 % aus Wasser, das ist inzwischen fast jedem Gastronomen klar. Dennoch sind jede Menge falsche Aussagen rund um das Thema Wasser in der Gastronomie unterwegs. Passend zur World Water Week möchte ich deshalb heute mit 3 Mythen rund um das Thema Wasser aufräumen. Um diese 3 Mythen geht es konkret: Einen Filter brauche ich nur, wenn mein Wasser zu hart ist. Wasser muss nach dem filtern frei von Kalk sein, deshalb ist Osmosewasser super. Wenn ich einen Wasserfilter habe, mein Job als Gastronom erledigt.

Among many of the most at-risk nations due to coronavirus are "developing countries," with limited economic and medical capacity Nepal seems to exemplify that trend. However, in our recent Digitomics Podcast, Dipak Gyawali is confident that there is light at the end of the tunnel, mainly because of Nepal's robust civil society, which gives them a fighting chance. In this episode of Digitomics, we spoke to Gyawali about Nepal's COVID-19 experience, international development, and the opportunities presented from Nepal's digitization. Dipak Gyawali is currently Pragya (Academician) of the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST). He is initiating the Colloquium on the Philosophy of Science and the Sociology of Technology. Currently, he is on the technical advisory committee of UNESCO's World Water Assessment Program, the advisory board of IDS Sussex STEPs Center, the scientific program committee of Stockholm International Water Institute for its World Water Week, and a guest senior research scholar with the Risk and Resilience Program (RISK) at The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. He has written extensively on sustainability and international development. From 2002 to 2003, Gyawali was Nepal's Minister of Water Resources, where he chaired ex-officio, the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) governing board, and the Water and Energy Commission. As minister, he completed the privatization of Butwal Power Company, introduced community electricity in Nepal, giving control over local power distribution to the rural consumers.

As cities continue to grow, increasing demands are being placed on urban water systems. Climate change and other unprecedented stressors will exacerbate the challenges related to cities' climate security in the decades to come. How can cities learn to build resilience, and do so in an equitable manner involving a wide range of stakeholders? For this episode of ClimateReady, we hit the road to conduct live interviews during World Water Week in Stockholm in 2019. Keeping in line with the conference's theme of “Water for Society: Including All,” we spoke with representatives of the ongoing City Water Resilience Approach (CWRA) project. The approach is designed to coordinate policies, investments, and operations by using water as the connective tissue for resilient action, often across a number of cities that form a single urban landscape. We were joined by two members of the CWRA team from the global engineering firm Arup, Mr. Martin Shouler and Ms. Louise Ellis. Then to hear how the resilience approach is being put into practice in one of its pilot cities, we spoke with Mr. Hardeep Anand of the Miami Dade Water & Sewer Department in the US state of Florida, a city which is seeing quite significant climate impacts already. We wrap up with another “Climate of Hope” story as part of an ongoing collaboration with the World Youth Parliament for Water. Joyce Mendez of the Climate Reality Project in Brazil and the Center for United Nations Constitutional Research covers the ways in which climate change can serve as an opportunity for significant global governance changes as part of a more inclusive future.

NATURGEOGRAF, VD, MILJÖDEBATTÖR. Johan Kuylenstierna inleder med att berätta om sin mormor som vid 100 års ålder inte tyckte att det var bättre förr. Hennes perspektiv bidrog till att göra honom till en framtidsoptimist och han fokuserar på hur vi kan lösa de miljöproblem som vår utveckling orsakar. Min resa genom 25 års arbete med miljöfrågor har lärt mig att det inte bara handlar om vetenskap och fakta. Det här är också en fråga om förhållningssätt, säger Johan Kuylenstierna. Som ett exempel på vad vi alla kan göra ber han oss tänka på vad vi väljer att äta och, inte minst, vad vi slänger. Mellan 30-40% av all mat som produceras i världen konsumeras aldrig. Den förstörs eller slängs. Redan idag produceras mat för att föda 10 miljarder människor. Sluta släng mat. Använd näsan, inte bäst före-datum, är hans direkta uppmaning.

This month’s podcast sheds light on the role of medical research in the current Ebola crisis. We learn about the main experimental treatment available and what the scientific institutions in the United Kingdom are doing to enable a fast and effective response to the outbreak. We then travel to Maputo, capital of Mozambique, to discover how African universities are joining up their efforts to foster a new generation of agricultural scientists — in the belief that a dynamic scientific community can better prepare society for future environmental and economic challenges. Looking at the current agenda for tomorrow’s global development we sit down with Camilla Toulmin, director of the International Institute for Environment and Development, to discuss the main points of its 2014-2019 strategy. She explains why tackling hunger doesn’t mean we must produce more food, and how fighting inequality starts with targeted action against policies that lead to inequality. And we’ll be on safari in Tanzania, where we visited a Maasai community outside Arusha to report on a project that combines clean technology and local entrepreneurship to empower women. Finally, we hear about World Water Week, which kicks off today and which you will be able to follow through coverage on our website and social media until 5 September. http://www.scidev.net/global/water/multimedia/podcast-ebola-research-maasai-entrepreneurs.html

780 million people lack access to clean water. While we didn't get to speak with Matt Damon, who is behind the amazing organization Water.org, we did get a chance to speak to Moree Scofield, who is working hard to help raise awareness about the plight of so many people who do NOT have easy access to clean, safe water. Learn how to get involved. Great podcast!

This month’s podcast features a long journey across Tanzania to discover how low-tech innovation can help developing nations eradicate poverty and meet the Millennium Development Goals. From improved cookstoves to a new system that combines sanitation and composting, small initiatives aimed at local communities can bring big leaps where limited resources and infrastructure are available. Looking at the Millennium Development Goals, we also shed light on what’s needed to reduce global carbon emissions in order to reduce global warming and prompt sustainable development. Joyeeta Gupta of the University of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, says that countries ignoring the issue of climate change have to be isolated by the international community, while the developing world needs to find a new model of sustainable development. We then talk about conservation with the story of an award-winning vet who is trying to save the endangered grey crowned crane of Rwanda, which is being wiped out by poaching. We also meet Chris Albon of non-profit tech company Ushahidi to discuss how open data tools can map human rights abuses during crises. Finally, there is a sneak preview of next month’s podcast: border water wars and World Water Week.

World Water Week is, March 19th through March 25th.
